Contemporary Realistic
Fiction: A Monster Calls
I loved the multiple levels that which the lack of
communication was integrated into the story. The continuum ranged from self-awareness to
other awareness and beyond.
Historical Fiction: The
Arrival
A picture is worth a thousand thoughts. Part of this was that
none of the other books in this section stood up and asked to be liked.
Sci-Fi/Fantasy/ Dystopia: Ender’s Game
I could not put this book down. Competitive rivalry seems
to be an issue with me. Although I did not read any other books in this seriers.
Non-Fiction: Behind the Beautiful Forevers
India has always made me curious. It is a very old
country, both religiously, culturally, and historically. It is very complicated
to me.
Adventure/Mystery: I am the Messenger
Just liked the way the it was written. One of my
favorites but not philosophically just a good read. I liked Ed
Diversity/Mutlicultural: The Absolutely true diary of a part time
Indian.
I thought this book really reflected the true feelings
thoughts of a teenaged Indian that did not fit into his own culture. A bit of a
square peg in a round hole.
Most vivid description of a
setting: Behind the Beautiful Forevers.
I could see, smell, and feel the slum and oppressive
heat.
Best use of purposeful,
meaningful dialogue: I am the messenger. The author can say more in seven words
than 90% of authordom.
Best Unraveling of a plot:
Ender’s Game. The book moves through the plot lines of Ender and his siblings
very effectively. I can see why it is movie due out very soon. The screen play
probably wrote itself.
